Dear William Shen:

One approach to weaken this craving, a craving to be loved, is the Inner Child approach. There are lots of online sources, books and workbooks on the topic, and the idea behind it is that you recognized the unloved child that you were, an unloved child who is still in you, and learn to love him. Are you familiar with the concept of the inner child?

Dear William Shen:

I just looked up some online sources on the topic, and seems to me that the website lone wolf. com/  feeling safe inner child is a good introduction to the concept. If this source doesn’t suit you, there are plenty more. Also, you can google workbooks on inner child work, and see what you get.

William Shen: Dear Anita Much appreciated I’ll definitely check it out

Dear William Shen:

You are very welcome. After you get acquainted with the concept, you are welcome to post again, and we can talk more about it.

Hi William

Give yourself some time to process. It’s natural to feel confused and disappointed given the circumstances.
